I think I would’ve absolutely loved this book as a young teenager and I liked it as an adult. Very cool perspective.

made me cry so much…. I really loved death as the narrator. I simply really liked this book :,)

Very challenging to get through the 1st 100 pages but from there the book is amazing!

I'm crying, 10/10.

DNF there’s too much narration and not enough dialogue.

I kept this book on my shelf for 10 years before I got to read it.
Reading it, I cried enough to make up for those 10 wasted years.

Wow--I highly recommend this book.

Immediately became one of my favourite books, I started reading it and could not put it down - finished within two days. Made me feel extremely emotional, I ended up crying in a Tesco cafe whilst waiting for a lift (the last book I remember crying at I read in primary school). I could not recommend this book enough, the writing style is easy to read and the characters are lovable - even if the setting is horrific.
